Our Vision
Design Matters LA was born from a passion for the unique architectural landscape that defines Los Angeles. From the iconic mid-century modern homes nestled in the Hollywood Hills to the cutting-edge contemporary structures reshaping downtown, LA’s design scene is as diverse as the city itself.
We believe that great design tells a story—about culture, history, innovation, and the future. Through our platform, we aim to celebrate these stories and the visionaries behind them.

- Neighborhood Focus: Exploring the distinct design identities of LA’s eclectic neighborhoods
- Sustainability Initiatives: Highlighting eco-conscious design solutions in urban environments

Our Approach
We believe design is for everyone. While we appreciate technical expertise and industry knowledge, our content is crafted to be accessible to both professionals and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re an architect with decades of experience or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of thoughtful spaces, Design Matters LA welcomes you.
Our commentary is informed by research, direct engagement with designers, and firsthand experience of the spaces we feature. We strive to provide context that helps readers understand not just how a building or interior looks, but why certain design choices matter.
Join the Conversation
Design Matters LA is more than a blog—it’s a community. We invite you to join the conversation through comments, social media, and our upcoming events. Have a suggestion for a building we should feature or a designer we should interview? We’d love to hear from you.
